Profile:
Another of the cricketers who never quite got their due, Milkha Singh
was a dashing left handed batsman and a fine fielder in the
country. An outstanding schoolboy cricketer, Milkha made his Ranji
Trophy debut at 17 and played his first Test when just past his 18th
birthday. But his four Tests were played in a period of less than two
years and his career was over a month before his 20th birthday. Though
he continued to be a prolific and stylish run getter in first class
cricket in the early and mid sixties, he was surprisingly not
considered again.
Milkha was a mainstay of the Madras (later Tamil Nadu) batting for a
decade. In the Ranji Trophy alone he scored 2150 runs (41.35). He
scored the first century in the Duleep Trophy championship hitting 151
for South Zone against North Zone in the inaugural match at Madras in
1961-62. He and his elder brother Kripal Singh appeared together
against England at Bombay in 1961-62. In a decade long first class
career, Milkha scored 4324 runs (35.44) with eight
centuries. (Partab Ramchand)
